Alfine 11 speed
belt drive
Shimano hydro discs (inside the rear triangle)
Conti sport contacts

looks like an eccentric BB
Just needs some proper pedals.

I rarely lust after a new bike, but that is one sweet ride. I would wonder how much it will cost, but I can't afford a new bike at the moment anyway. Still a guy can dream.

I wonder what belt drive and internal gears would be like?

I know Norco have a similar bike (hydro discs, belt & IHG) so it will be good to see a few more manufacturers getting into these.

The tyre spec is a 37c, they probably just grabbed the first tube they could find for the pre-production/prototype build.

As an all weather commuter, a Belt+IGH is making more and more sense for my day to day bike. Id even go alloy from a steel only philospoghy for this bike, but the sticker shock ($1700) will probably see me wait until these bikes hit maybe the $1100 mark. Im hoping just like the 29er has redefined the MTB market, the Belt+IGH will redefine the (largely untapped) potential commuter market.

Optimistic. The hub itself is about $900 and belt drive setup is about $400. You could be waiting a while.landscapecadmonkey wrote:http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/bicycles ... /100374994

For you to buy maybe but OEM pricing is very different. Work out the component cost of most things and it is way more than the cost to buy the complete article. 1700 today will be on sale for 1200 this time next year as the new model hits the stores.Nobody wrote:Optimistic.

PM me when it happens then. I might be interested in a 11 speed, belt drive, disc braked bike for 1200.Cruiserman wrote:For you to buy maybe but OEM pricing is very different.

Sorry if I caused offense. I was serious. I'm not across every deal out there. Anyway, what makes you think I only ride steel? What is wrong with steel frames anyway?Cruiserman wrote:Wouldnt waste the bandwidth it is Al and we all know you only ride steel - so until you move into the 20th century it is technologically out of your league.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Please don't turn this into a "steel is real" thread.. we already have one of those (actually, many)!Nobody wrote:Sorry if I caused offense. I was serious.

Let us return to our previously-scheduled drooling over the Inc 3. Hey, I checked out the links that MattyK sent through. I couldn't quite tell if it has pannier mounts at the back. Does anyone know?

Sounds like some serious rationalisation going onOxford wrote:as for the cost, when you consider the lower running costs/maintenance of belt drive, the cost amortised over the life of the bike is nothing really. the wheels should last almost forever with proper care without the rims being used as braking surfaces. and not having any drive train muck to stain either clothes or employer's floors (my bike comes into the office with me now) means those arguments are settled.
If you need some more arguments, if I caught the bus instead of riding, that would cost me $40 x 48 = $1,920 so I would save the money in less than a year

Seen any numbers on how much longer (if any) a belt and cogs are supposed to last? Last I read, a belt was 5000 Km. Some people can get that out of a chain.Oxford wrote:as for the cost, when you consider the lower running costs/maintenance of belt drive, the cost amortised over the life of the bike is nothing really.
